Celebrating comics, from a couple days ago to a century ago!Sat, 10 Feb 2018 07:12:19 +0000en-UShourly1https://wordpress.org/?v=4.8.5Reading comics should be fun, and so we're firing up the Comic Book Time Machine to go back in time -- seven days ago or seven decades ago -- to find comics that are fun! Some from our childhood, some from before we were born, some from just a month ago! We cover things like major comic events past and present, series we love, story arcs, and much much more! We're comic fans and we love comics, so our goal is to share that love as we find comics we enjoy.Comic Book Time MachineComic Book Time Machinebenavery@mac.combenavery@mac.com (Comic Book Time Machine)Ben Avery, Matt Anderson, & Daniel ButcherExploring comic books past, present, and future!Comic Book Time Machinehttp://strangersandaliens.com/cbtimemachine/wp-content/Art/CBTM_PodArt.jpghttp://comicbooktimemachine.com

While he has been blown away by the TV show, he was not sure what to expect when he read the series that inspired the show.

So what did he think? How does it stand up to the show? Was he surprised by the quality of the comics? Or was he surprised by how bad they were?

If you want to find out what REALLY surprised him, you’ll need to listen past the spoiler warning, because the first part is spoiler free impressions and the second part dives in deep to the spoilers . . . especially the big plot twist that really, really surprised him.

This event stars the Avengers, and is the next big part of the story that Jonathan Hickman has been telling in both “Avengers” and “New Avengers” since he took over those titles at the beginning of the Marvel NOW initiative. “Time Runs Out” is set eight months in the future of the Marvel 616 Universe, so many of the other Marvel titles will be filling in the blanks as to how things got to this point. One of the Comic Book Time Machine hosts, Matt Anderson, will be reading these two Avengers titles every month in order to fill listeners in on what is happening in the event. We now know that when Time Runs Out in the Marvel Universe, it leads directly into the huge Marvel event, “Secret Wars.”

In 1 Month…Time Runs Out!

The issues that will be discussed and spoiled in this episode include the following:

New Avengers (2013) #33– Release Date: April 29, 2015

This event stars the Avengers, and is the next big part of the story that Jonathan Hickman has been telling in both “Avengers” and “New Avengers” since he took over those titles at the beginning of the Marvel NOW initiative. “Time Runs Out” is set eight months in the future of the Marvel 616 Universe, so many of the other Marvel titles will be filling in the blanks as to how things got to this point. One of the Comic Book Time Machine hosts, Matt Anderson, will be reading these two Avengers titles every month in order to fill listeners in on what is happening in the event.

“Time Runs Out” is a Marvel event that started in September 2014. This event stars the Avengers, and is the next big part of the story that Jonathan Hickman has been telling in both “Avengers” and “New Avengers” since he took over those titles at the beginning of the Marvel NOW initiative. “Time Runs Out” is set eight months in the future of the Marvel 616 Universe, so many of the other Marvel titles will be filling in the blanks as to how things got to this point. One of the Comic Book Time Machine hosts, Matt Anderson, will be reading these two Avengers titles every month in order to fill listeners in on what is happening in the event. We now know that when Time Runs Out in the Marvel Universe, it leads directly into the huge Marvel event, “Secret Wars.”

He also then recommends a podcast that is related to each of those comics, and recommends another podcast that may not be related to the material, but that IS related to the price Ben paid.

The Marvel 616 Universe (that started in 1961) is coming to an end, and in this episode, Ben and Matt give their initial reactions to this world-shattering news. This episode was recorded a few hours after the announcement was made by Marvel, so it features same-day speculation.

Our exploration of Marvel’s Star Wars finally begins! Taking the time machine to cover date July, 1977, we are given the beginning of a new era in science fantasy with Star Wars’ first issue, and another sci-fi title gets cancelled with Logan’s Run’s cancelation.

In between those two extremes, Jack Kirby gives us another type of extreme, introducing a superhero robot to his exploration of Kubrick’s 2001 and John Carter’s adventures on Mars continue. But which of these two books feels like fan fiction and which feels like it actually belongs in the “expanded universe” of the license?

In this episode…

* Part One — Star Wars #1 (3:45-33:50)

* Part Two — Logan’s Run #7 (33:50-43:10)

* Part Three — 2001: A Space Odyssey #8 (43:10-55:45)
